PowerField PowerRack 1200 Ground Mount, Pallet of 10 – 299-1200-013

The PowerField PowerRack 1200 is an American-made, ballasted solar ground mounting system designed to simplify solar installations without traditional steel racking, concrete foundations, or extensive excavation. Manufactured from UV-protected high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it provides a durable fixed-tilt mounting solution for residential, agricultural, and commercial solar arrays.

This package includes 10 PowerRack 1200 mounting supports with mounting retainers and retainer clips. Designed for wider, landscape-oriented solar panels, the PowerRack uses locally sourced ballast for stability and integrated mounting features for straightforward installation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Fixed-tilt mounting: Supports compatible landscape-oriented solar panels.
• Tool-free module attachment: Integrated mounting slots and retainers simplify mechanical installation.
• UV-resistant construction: Designed for long-term outdoor exposure.
• High structural load capacity: Engineered for demanding wind and snow conditions.
• Flexible array layouts: Allows dedicated or shared mounting supports according to the approved design.
• Minimal ground disturbance: Can eliminate extensive excavation and foundation work.
• UL 2703 compliant design: Supports compatible module bonding and grounding arrangements.
• Reusable and recyclable: HDPE supports can be relocated or recycled where appropriate.
• 25-year manufacturer warranty: Long-term coverage from PowerField.

Simple Four-Step Installation

Step 1: Set

Position the PowerRacks according to the approved array layout, aligning the supports for the selected solar panel dimensions and required row spacing.

Step 2: Fill

Add the required ballast material to each rack. Gravel, sand, and suitable soil can be used, with final ballast quantities determined by the installation design.

Step 3: Attach

Place compatible framed solar panels in landscape orientation. Engage the upper frame with the molded support slots and secure the lower edge using the mounting retainers and retainer clips.

Step 4: Connect

Complete solar module wiring, bonding, grounding, and electrical connections according to the approved system design.

Ballasted Ground Mount Without Concrete Foundations

The PowerRack 1200 uses ballast weight and a low-profile mounting design to provide stability without conventional concrete foundations in suitable installations.

Each support is positioned on prepared ground and filled with an appropriate ballast material. This approach reduces ground disturbance and eliminates the need for traditional steel posts and mounting rails.

The system is particularly attractive for residential properties, farms, and commercial sites where conventional foundation installation would add unnecessary complexity.

Sample Ballast Weight Guidelines

PowerField provides the following ballast reference values for different fill depths and materials.

Compatible Solar Panels and Flexible Array Layouts

The PowerRack 1200 is designed for wider framed solar modules installed in landscape orientation. Its integrated support geometry accommodates compatible solar panels without conventional metal mounting rails.

Depending on the approved layout, PowerRacks can be positioned beneath individual modules or shared between adjacent panels. The number of racks required depends on panel dimensions, array configuration, and structural engineering.

Verify the selected solar panel's framed width and mounting requirements before ordering.

PowerRack 1000 vs. PowerRack 1200: What's the Difference?

PowerField offers two PowerRack models designed for different solar panel dimensions. Both use ballasted HDPE construction, but they accommodate different module widths and feature different fixed tilt angles.

Which PowerRack Should You Choose?

• PowerRack 1000: Designed for narrower, standard-width solar panels, with a compact footprint and steeper fixed tilt.
• PowerRack 1200: Designed for wider solar panels commonly used in residential, agricultural, and commercial installations.

Durable American-Made HDPE Construction

PowerRack 1200 supports are manufactured in the United States from UV-protected high-density polyethylene.

The molded construction provides a corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional metal mounting structures. The nonconductive material is designed for outdoor use and can be reused or recycled when appropriate.

Engineered for Wind and Snow Resistance

PowerField designs its PowerRack systems to resist environmental forces through low-profile geometry, ballast weight, and structural engineering.

The PowerRack 1200 is engineered for demanding wind and snow conditions, with optional anchoring methods available for certain applications.

Final ballast requirements and rack placement depend on the approved site-specific installation design.

Ideal Applications

• Residential ground-mounted solar arrays
• Farms, ranches, and agricultural properties
• Commercial solar installations
• Rural homes and open-field solar projects
• Solar installations where concrete foundations are undesirable
• Large-format solar panel installations
• Grid-tied and hybrid solar systems
• Off Grid Solar Systems
• Contractor and installer ground mount projects
